Salathai or Patong villa?
Ok guys, the question is for anyone who has stayed at both or knows both well, as a single guy travelling would you stay at the Salathai in a deluxe room or the patong villa in a bungalow? What would the pros and cons be for either? as the Salathai is quoting me 3600 baht ($120 aus) for the deluxe room and the patong villa is quoting 2200 ($73 aus) for the bungalow is the Salathai worht the extra 1400 baht ($47 aus)?
Things that are important to me are,
1: aircondintioning that works
2: girl friendly (no joiner)
3: confortable rooms
4: nice pool
5: helpfull staff
any help gratefully accepted

Hi planter,
I PMd you earlier before reading this thread.
If you are still interested in booking the Salathai,be careful who you book with. You can save a lot of money depending on who you book with.
This link will save you 400baht a night in Jan for the deluxe room

Patong Villa
Likewise, I can't comment on the Salathai but I have stayed at Patong Villa a few times.
Everything you list as essential is there Planter. The staff are brilliant once you get to know them, about 2 minutes!!! Surasak, the owner, will normally answer any email questions you may have and will fix a price for you and stick to it. I paid 240 GBP for two weeks B&B in the bungalows at the far end of the pool. It was 205 GBP for one night at the Sheraton at Heathrow (My Company paid!) Breakfast wasn't included in that price!! 55555
Breakfast starts at 0630 hours which is great for grabbing a bite to eat on the way in! 555555
Close to the action! Up to you. I'll post a couple of pics Planter, I don't have any of the room though really without the obvious in them!
Have an enjoyable holiday wherever you decide to stay and if it is PV then say Hi to the girls on reception, the cleaners, Sue at Chaidee, the lads on security. Oh! and give the tailor in the passageway a kick in the nads from me too! 5555555
And yes, DM, the one on the left!!

Agreed Steve, good, genuine guy, He is also looking out for property for me (Not a Go-Go!! 555555) That thread has really taken off and it's great to see the banter.
I am hoping he will have some feedback for me soon. The girl on the right in the picture is married to a builder. We are in email contact and they have my price range in which to look.
I enjoy my stays at the PV, I could have done without the Ladyboy stitch-up by the Oz lads staying there!! But that will teach me not to wind them up about the cricket! 555555555

Currently @Salathai. Just finished a nice oil massage. I would say yes to all your questions, no prob w/guest just the ususal id thing. Moved from jintana which was not what i expected and very pleased w/ salathai. I'm in a junior suite but not really needed, reg. rooms just fine.
A few minute walk to bangla but no problem even for last nites' friend. Just pain in the ass tailors to navigate thru.

That's very funny Denver....
I agree with the rest of the bm's, I like the place...works for me. Everyone is very cool.
What I did was my first day I stopped and talked to the bastard as I had the heads up from fellow bm's, I told the guy he would see me around but that I was broke and living off my gf, he never bothered us again...he was polite as everyone in the gauntet was to us for the rest of our stay.
Have a great trip.

Yep, good salesman though!! 5555555 The tailor is a great Thai bloke who did two fittings for me at the shop. I need extra in the crotch than most blokes!! Anyway, I had two suits (Each with two pairs of trousers, I have a lard ar5e and split them a lot!) Each suit with a hand-made tailored shirt and he threw in a couple of Thais.........Sorry Ties!
With the exchange rate while I was over there it came out at 80 GBP which I thought was bloody good! The suits are still in my suitcase under the bed at home in the UK but might come in handy someday!
Anyway, even after I had bought that lot! He still wanted me to buy a blazer and a pair of chino's, that's when I kicked him in the nads.

Hey Dawsey,
If you do that with sunglasses is that gay also? I am on boats a lot and I use the cords to keep them from blowing away when the boat is moving at a good clip. And also when I am looking down at the water.
Maybe those are magnifying glasses that Denver has as he needs to make sure he can see what a BG has down below. Maybe he forgot his glasses on the last trip.

Nice comeback Denver. I like the Sunglasses. No use in using them on me.

Couple of points big man -
Firstly, the one on the left as you look at the picture is absolutley beautiful. If they are good at their job its a bonus.
Second, I thought your sunglasses were resting on your t1ts , and no Larrys were involved.
Thirdly, the asian 'Broken Terminator' with the "kick here" sign worries me - does he normally wink at you that way ??
Fourth , I normally stay at the Patong Pearl, just a bit up the road. I cant afford the Salathai, and also I wouldnt want to stay there because I normally go for a p1ss and a shit there every night when I am drinking at my friends bar across the road (Power Bar).
Fifth, after having seen the 'gay apparell' arond your neck, dont let anybody take the p1ss. If you run out of drinking straws you can simply unhook your welders goggles and use that green hose to suck up your babycham

5555555 Brilliant
Firstly, yes she is, even better in a towel and yes, they are!
Secondly, STOP LOOKING AT MY T1TS! Ya dirty Fcuker!
Thirdly, I'd just stuck a finger in his eye, pushed him back on his ar5e for almost opening his gob when I had warned him earlier, not to!
Fiftherly, Fair comment, you have got to take a dump somewhere when it's touching cloth and the Salathai is as good a place as any.
Sixthly, Just gave that suggestion a whirl and it works! Cheers! Yer cheeky fcuker

I see that the shop in your photo is called 'Patong Fashion House' -
Now is it just me, but are the dummies in the shop window not the most unfashionably dressed dummies you are ever likely to see? Who the fcuk would go past and think "Hmmm, that looks good - I will just pop in and order one"
They always seem to be dressed like extras in Saturday Night Fever
The strange thing is that the stuff they make if 10 times better than the shit in the window.
I wonder if they are worried that if they put a good suit in the window, some twat will break the window and pinch it
